Within our Corporate Operations Group, we provide critical business services and technology capabilities that underpin enterprise-wide operations. The Architecture function enables the division to maximise the value of its data by establishing robust, scalable, and governed data foundations that support all of Macquarie’s business and technology operations. We focus on driving high-quality, trusted data to improve operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, and strategic decision-making.

What role will you play?

You will drive the data architecture strategy for the division, ensuring alignment with enterprise standards while supporting operational efficiency, regulatory compliance and effective risk management. You will represent the Group Data Architect in governance forums, ensuring adherence to data policies, standards and controls, and play a key role in embedding data governance practices such as ownership, stewardship and control frameworks. Partnering closely with broader architecture and data teams, you will design scalable, cloud-based data solutions that meet business and regulatory requirements, including developing and maintaining data models for critical domains. You will lead improvements in data quality, lineage and metadata management, support regulatory and audit requirements through strong governance and traceability, and provide architectural leadership to delivery teams to drive consistent design patterns and reusable assets.



You will simplify complex data concepts for senior stakeholders to support informed decision-making and influence strategic initiatives across the group and the wider organisation.
